have you ever been going through a regular day…and things start to pile up – you become frustrated with the everyday annoying aspects of life…so you start to feel sorry for yourself? you start to feel that your life is “bad”…

i do it all the time

even though i have no real excuse

i’m thankful right now (for my wife, my kids and all our health)…please watch this

here’s a monday morning quote for you…this is Louie Giglio talking about the sixsteps record label (tomlin, crowder, hall, redman) – he’s talking about the success of the record label but he puts things into perspective pretty well here…

“There is something I am confident of,” declares Louie Giglio, “That the Church that Christ is building worldwide is on the rise. The whole Christian record industry could vanish, yet the Church will prevail and prosper. So I think our future is in being aligned with his movement, not ours, and in being linked to the process of building up the Church versus growing a label. After all, our songs are for that very Bride, designed to give voice to a new generation wanting to reach for God and stake their hearts on something greater than themselves. We will continue to work hard to restore, expand, create, and modify our approaches to delivering music to every listener on the planet, but we are hopeful because we are a part of an expanding Kingdom, not a shrinking industry. It’s a tough time to be building a label, but a great time (maybe the best time ever) to be building the Kingdom of God.”

Our friend Kyle Lent is the guitarist in the band, he’s amazing. Kyle recorded and mixed the EP in his studio. The song really builds, about 5 minutes into the song there is a beautiful electric guitar part where Kyle used a bow on his electric in the vein of Sigur Ros. If you like Jon Foreman, you’ve got to check out this version of his original.

The whole EP is great, you can download it for $4 on their website or wait until December and it’ll be on Itunes.

I'm a family man at heart. I admit my world revolves around my wife Libby and our 3 hooligans...Eli, Eden and Silas. They are easy to love. I'm trying to learn to love the rest of you. I also like to ask questions.
